About JBS
JBS began in 1953 as a small, family-owned company in Brazil. We have
continued to steadily grow and are now the largest animal protein
processor in the world. Though our business has grown, our family
values remain our foundation. We seek to hire dedicated individuals
who are committed to learning and share our desire to be the best. At
JBS, our team members are our most important asset and feeding the
world is our greatest goal. The Plainwell facility began operations in
1918 under the Murray Packing company. In the 1960's, it was acquired
by Murco and in 1998 by Packerland. In 2000, Packerland was acquired
by Smithfield. In 2010, the facility joined the JBS USA family.
Plainwell is the only JBS plant with Modified Atmospheric Packaging
(MAP), a packaging process that changes oxygen levels to extend
shelf-life. The MAP process is a part of the Plainwell ground beef
operation. Plainwell is also one of the few plants that produces
ground beef patties. Over one million lbs (450,000 kg) of beef are
produced each day. The Plainwell facility produces biogas in an
anaerobic lagoon and uses it in place of natural gas to heat a portion
of the water used in the plant. The facility was recognized by the
American Meat Institute as a Tier 3 facility for its accomplishments
with ISO 14001. Plainwell recently built a 31 million distribution
center (85,000 ft²) with a 55,000 box capacity.
